Peon (Warcraft I)

Peons are the lowliest of the Orcs, these dogs are good for little more than rough work. Command them to cut wood or mine the pits for gold. They also make strong laborers in the construction of all manner of buildings. They are all cowards, and will run like little children if attacked.

Peons are the basic workhorse of any army. While they can't attack enemies, they can harvest gold and lumber or build and repair buildings. They are quite weak and vulnerable, and must be protected at all cost. If under attack, the Peon will keep fleeing from the danger until he meets an obstructive object, in which case he will get stuck and wait to die. Always make sure that the Peons have a safe pathway between the Gold Mine/forest and the Town Hall. Also, make sure that the Roads to the Town Hall are wide enough for multiple Peons to pass through, otherwise an incoming Peon will bump into an outgoing Peon and both of them will get stuck while also blocking the Road.
